MONSTER BY NIKI MINAJ IS A TIGHT SONG.
NIKI HAS A DIFFERENT STYLE THAN OTHER FEMALE RAPPERS LIKE LITTLE KIM.
I THINK SHE IS WAY BETTER THAN LITTLE KIM. I LOVE NIKI MINAJ.
I GIVE HER A 4 STAR. I think that Niki has a fake butt though, but I don’t really know.
She is pretty.

Sometimes


By: Erma P.
Sometimes I forget to breathe. Sometimes it gets hard to walk.
Sometimes my heart skips a beat and makes it hard to talk.
Sometimes I cry and wonder to myself why…………………out of all my close friends that this one had to dieL
I miss you
By: Erma P.
I miss you when Ilook up at the night sky…..
I miss the way you’d laugh,
I miss the way we’d cry.
I miss you coming to my window at night and all my fears would go away….
but my biggest miss is knowing I’d see you again the next dayL

Artec News
The Green Bay Packers were doing well this year. They were undefeated until they lost against the Chiefs. After that they were still doing well they made it to the playoffs. Then they went up against the NEW YORK GIANTS AND LOST. I was so happy because they lost and they were out and everybody was saying that they were going to win the Super Bowl again. I used to like the Packers, but they got too cocky and they talked crap on a lot of other teams, so now I hate them really bad, but am still a cheese head.

TRAPPED IN A PUDDLE
Is there any way to change me?
To rearrange the monster I see
I had never wanted a life like this
This is not the original Chris
It was the meth that forced the theft
Of my soul and all control
I have no hope
For a life with dope
But I still crave death
If I can’t have meth
So I remain pissed
Cause I can’t resist
To take my hits
And to just remain in my puddle
In my own world
My personal bubble
So am I destined for a life of trouble?
And will I be found in the rubble?
I hope this is not for me
I just want my soul to be free!

Dear Artec

I have some concerns about the new rules. We students don’t like them, because we can't even move up a level unless we bring our home note. Why can’t you just call our mom and dad or whoever we live with. It's not fair, because some of our guardians won't sign them. We earn to move up at school and home, but we sometimes don’t get our home note from our mom and dad.

By Damian

Dear Damian,

If it's a real problem to get your home note from your guardian, I am sure that the staff at ARTEC can talk with them and make some other kind of plan for you. Talk with Brandt, and he may be able to help you. I know that the staff at ARTEC want to see you be successful and don't want your home note to hold you back.
ARTEC

Relapse
As my words bleed on to this paper
Deeper
My thoughts seem to be faded
Forget later
Running on empty hear me speak
Briefly, deeply reaching for that fiending
Point seeming to get closer, bells ringing
Loudly
I proudly make my brain cloudy
It clears a path for me
The one that helps me think irrationally
Casually
I walk expressionless and pretend nothing’s happening
As if using is just another thing under my belt
I feel I’m too afraid to ask for help…
By Martin U


ARTEC News

Dear ARTEC:

Why do we go through hard times here?

I think some of the time that we go through the most hard times here at ARTEC are caused sometimes we feel that we must try to prove to each other that we fit in with everybody. There is often tension between those on the unit, which can be caused by sub-grouping and conversing about one another. The simple fact is that we should all do our part in trying to keep the unit drama free and as peaceful as possible. Also when you are the one to converse about someone behind their back, then pretend that you are there for them, you can sometimes give them a false hope that maybe, at last, they have a friend. After all, when you take the time out of your day to sit and talk about someone, think. You don’t know them personally, you’ve most likely never seen them in your life, and after you leave ARTEC, you’ll most likely never see them again. Everyone is here to work on their own personal issues, not to be hurt even more than they already might have been. But even here, everyone faces hard times, the best thing to do is take the time to realize that you and those around you are completely different people; none of us are the same. Everyone is here for a different reason. It’s best just to face the hard times together then against each other. Support each other the best you can and influence others in a positive way and be a leader.

Man On Fire
imagesCAH7NOMG.jpgimagesCA9V8RHS.jpg

This movie is by far the greatest movie I have ever seen in my entire life… It has literally changed my heart. This is a true story about a man named John W. Creasey, who was an ex-hit man. He ended up becoming an alcoholic/nobody. He later got a job as a body guard in New Mexico to guard a young girl named Pita __. His life was nothing until he met this beautiful little girl who changed his heart; but someone got hired to kidnap her and the cops are possibly involved. All Mr. Creasy has left to do is find out why. This action-packed adventure has it’s twists and turns, don’t miss it! I rate this with five stars and would recommend it as a number one movie that you would definitely want to see.

Finally! I’ll be leaving this place soon! My graduation date is on February 9th, it should have been next week, but it doesn’t really matter just as long as I get outta here! I know that I’ve worked hard these last 6 months and I’ve changed some things about me, but I’m happy to be going home !! I look forward to school and sports when I leave, because I know these are things that will help me stay sober.

Movie Review


220px-Hangoverposter09.jpg

The Hangover is a movie about four guys that go to Vegas. One of the guys (Whose wedding is in a couple days) goes missing. This movie is funny all the way through. I was laughing non-stop. I highly recommend this movie. The stars of this movie are Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, Zach Galifianakis, Heather Graham, Justin Bartha, and Jeffrey Tambor.

Upcoming Holidays or Events.
Valentines Day is coming up soon and for me what I am ready for is a new year to start good, make 2012 a good year. A lot of new things are happening for lots of people: birthdays, Valentines Day, the weather, a new family, a fresh start, more job opportunities. Me, I like to celebrate Valentines Day with my family and loved ones that are special to me, eat yummy food, watch movies, get hugs & kisses from family, friends, boyfriends, and girlfriends, spend quality time with people, eat chocolate, drink cocoa, laugh, and enjoy the beautiful holidays. Saint Patrick’s Day is also coming up; that’s actually a fun day. You dress up in green. If you're not wearing green you get pinched.

Learn to appreciate what you have, before time makes you appreciate what you had.
Live without pretending
Love without depending
Listen without defending
Talk without offending!
Leaving Artec in two weeks!
Life isn’t always easy you have to work for everything,
I’ve made the same mistakes & it left me suffering!
Being locked up and away from home has helped me recover,
I’m starting a new life, that means letting go of my thug lover!
People judge me as a stuck up girl, because I don’t look their way,
But it’s not that I’m better, they just don’t see the pain I’m going through every day.
I’m a soldier at war, but was defeated by one,
It’s like he ended my life with the mistakes he’s done!
I’m more than just a pretty face he was just too blind to see,
If I’m with you, I better be your number one priority!
I have enough stress in my life, so I don’t need all of this,
It kills me inside, but baby it is what it is!
I know he’s stuck thinking that our love was a loss,
Well I don’t blame him, but I have to move on I’m a boss!
I’m done with that chapter I’m not easy to please,
I won’t settle for less I’m his ex he won’t seize!
I leave this program in two weeks & I won’t ever return,
February 8th is the day I have tried hard to earn!
I’m a new person walking out this door,
I needed Jorge back then, leaving Artec I don’t need him anymore!
I’m not going to shed any tears I’m drying my pretty green eyes,
It wasn’t real love, because true love never dies!
I’m not falling in love for a while I’m done with Amor,
We cared for each other at some point, but left each other with dolor!
My family are the only ones, who will forever remain in my heart,
They have been there for me from the very start!
By; Daisy (:





There’s a lot of ups and downs in this life,
I try to deal with them but it’s hard without you by my side.
We’ve been through a lot with one another
that’s how I know we really need each other.
You’ve showed me happiness in my darkest times
you’ve brightened my smile from the light in your eyes.
I remember the touch of your skin,
how soft it felt when held hands in the rain.
You mean more to me than I can explain.
why did he take you? Why can’t it be me ?
I would do anything for one last kiss.
If only you could see the look in my eye, when I sit and reminisce.
We had each other with something we call love.
It’s more than something I could ever receive from up above.
I wish I had you back,
I wish I could back track all the days that you’ve been gone from me
baby can’t you see?
I’m dying inside without you in my life.
Love, Denisha (:
